<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 3237654, member: 75937&quot;]Nice one, [USER=41219]@furryfrog02[/USER] ! Severina&#039;s <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/severina-portraits-vary-by-mint.319887/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/severina-portraits-vary-by-mint.319887/">hairstyle and portraiture is very much mint-dependent</a>. The portrait style is quite pleasing on your coin. You&#039;ll note your coin depicts her with straight hair collected in a large plait in the back. On coins from other mints, she may be depicted with short, straight hair and without a plait. We&#039;ve often joked that her portraits look like Aurelian in drag. Here&#039;s one from Siscia, for example:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]846773[/ATTACH] </p><p>Antonininanus, RIC 13.</p><p><br /></p><p>On other issues from Serdica, her hair is wavy and plaited in the back, similar to her predecessors, Otacilia Severa, Herennia Etruscilla, and Cornelia Salonina. Here&#039;s an example:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]846774[/ATTACH] </p><p>Antoninianus, RIC 16.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only other issue with this wavy style are those from the 7th and final emission of Antioch:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]846775[/ATTACH] </p><p>Antoninianus, RIC 19.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
